Do you plan on updating this Rom more or just waiting for gingerbread?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I definitely do... as soon as I have a device.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rickyq12:
K0nane, thanks for the advice bro. I'll give it a try.(on my corrupted data question)
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
so my battery life has been great on SRF 1.1.0 for a number of days now.

The only problem is sometimes the phone locks up, happened 3 times already, never waking from sleep or anything like that, it only seems to be when scrolling. Like scrolling on a webpage, or I was scrolling on the realtor.com app and it locked up as well. screen is just on but non responsive and the buttons at the bottom are blinking when I touch them but nothing happens, battery pull fixes it.

Anyone else getting this? is this the freezing that people get? only when scrolling and doesn't happen all the time, only with heavy scrolling I would guess, at first i thought it was something with the stock browser but when it did it with the app while scrolling, I'm guessing something with the scroll funtion.

I do battery pull, reboot, and it works fine, no FC's or anything like that. One time it actually rebooted on its own.
[Epic 4G Android Development] LunaticWolf:
I'd like an answer for this as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
As noted countless times throughout the thread, freeze issues are solved by switching to VisionKernel 1.1, Genocide, or the kernel linked in the second post (Twilight Zone 1.0.4).
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
okay, so then this is definately the freeze issue that people get? is vision kernal 1.1 stable (no chance to brick my phone) and does it work with wifi tether? Genocide I tried but phone didn't seem to go that well on that one. and 1.0.4 i read about and you lose a number of features from what i saw so vision kernal 1.1 it probably will be. gun shy after the 1.2 experience though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Yes, it's definitely the issue (unless it's only wake locks - which it isn't - and that's the need to crank up to 200mhz min). Yes, VK1.1 is stable. 1.0.4 you don't lose any features except camcorder.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
hehe, yea, thats kinda important with a 2 year old and a newborn, camcorder gotta work :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Slow5Ohh:
I noticed this as well
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Try the genocide kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BroadcastDoc:
I actually did have the freezing issue with VK 1.1 as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Some people do, but it solves the problem for more people.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
I may try that one again, phone just seemed a bit stuttery with it . the kernal that comes with it has awesome battery life, i might just live with the occasional freezes.

I'll also try vision kernal 1.1 maybe, so I got two options, I've been using ondeamnd with this kernal, I don't think conservative would be any better. weird that it just does it when i scroll. I use my remote desktop app most of the time, no problems with that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I do like the ACS kernels much better, and 1.1.1 should fix the freezing, but for now, genocide may help :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] gitit20:
I know i brought this up a while back but i was wondering if you could some how check in to the fact that you can not check in to places with Facebook I have 2 or 3 epics around i fix up and resell and have duped. the problem on all the epics with this rom also its not just this rom Ace & Bonsai all have the problem Its not that big of a deal but i would like to have that working...

Thanks Royce
[Epic 4G Android Development] zedomax:
Nice ROM!

This is the best ROM so far in my opinion, thanks to the developer!

But it took me like the whole day to install and I had to keep unrooting it multiple times.

I made a video tutorial for those of you newbies:

[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Thanks! You kinda duplicated qbking77's efforts, though. ;) You could have saved some time by dropping by the IRC channel!
[Epic 4G Android Development] othan1:
You know I'm a huge proponent of this ROM and have flashed it on five phones so far and one of them multiple times. Every one of them worked flawlessly except one.

I'm starting to think that some phones may just not be able to be updated. I have no idea how that could be or anything but the sixth phone I've tried flashing refuses to take. It freezes at the Samsung Logo every time. Same steps as the others, newly formatted SD Card, 100% stock EB13 with OTA upgrade to EC05...nothing works. Like I said, this is the only one of six that refuses to take.

My only point of curiosity is that maybe there are some phones which just can't be updated to EXT4 or this ROM by no fault of anyone.

Do you think that's even possible?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Some phones most certainly won't handle ext4 or OC/UV well at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Nope. I'm willing to bet if you Odin, format the SD card, redownload the ROM, reCWM3, wipe 3x, and flash everything will work perfectly. ;) OC/UV may be iffy, but EXT4 works pretty much universally.
[Epic 4G Android Development] othan1:
Yup. Did those steps as well (and every one between page one and now - been on the thread since the beginning). Repeated them on my own Epic (it's my daughter's that's being a *****) and immediately repeated on hers with the same results as before...it just won't work on hers. Used Odin, Samsung's update tool, everything.

Like I said, I'm 100% certain it's not the ROM at all because it did the same thing with a couple of others, too (both EXT4), so no worries but was curious as to the probabilities.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Out of curiosity, have you tried flashing an alternate kernel before rebooting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Custodian:
Hope there's atleast two versions of 1.1.1 for those that would love to have their ram and screen uv, and whatever else uv and the other version, with 0 uvs...or what have you.
[Epic 4G Android Development] othan1:
Hmm. I have not.

Do you think I should perhaps throw genocide on it prior to flashing CWM3 and your ROM?

Sorry if this is cluttering...I'm not certain of a better venue to discuss.
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Anyone on this issue? It seems to be wide spread.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pibe38:
To those having the Facebook issue...

The issue is that for some reason the Messaging app apparently does not show the caller id picture that the Facebook app syncs to your device.

The solution is to use the Facebook sync included from Samsung (sns). This is also useful as it can sync your Facebook calendar and Facebook contacts birthdays.

Keep in mind, if you sync BOTH with the Samsung sns and the Facebook app, you will have to go to each contact, click Menu, select Mark as Default, and then select the picture sync'ed by Samsung sns instead of the one from the Facebook app.

Another tip here is that if you have more than one email account on your Facebook, you should login with different emails (one with the Facebook app and the other one with Samsung sns).

The reason for this is because when you select your default caller id picture, it will list them by the email account they were sync'ed from, not the app. This will make it easier to differentiate which picture comes from where.

This has nothing to do with the ROM btw, I had this issue when I was stock.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask questions.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i asked before, never heard back, can i download with the stock browser without using astro and enabling all downloads?

and the version of the kernal that comes with this rom, is the exact one available separately? was gonna do genocide to test but then realized I'd be flashing the rom again if i want to go back. its been so perfect except for the few times it froze so I really don't wanna have to reflash it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes the kernel can be flashed separately :) As for your other question.... not sure what you mean.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MojoSwag:
Can you use the eb13 modem with this Tom?

[Epic 4G Android Development] beret9987:
Hey, just wanted to say great ROM! I seem to be running into some quirks with it though. When I first flashed, it kept bootlooping for me, but I got that squared away by re-flashing. Now, I had to pull the battery because the system froze, and now the phone seems to be bootlooping again! Was just wondering if there were any troubleshooting steps one could suggest with getting this squared away? I'd rather not have to keep reflashing when I pull my battery :P Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Reflash and clear data, then enable journaling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Yes it can be used.......
[Epic 4G Android Development] beret9987:
Thanks for the quick response! How would you enable journaling by chance? I'm sorta new to this phone... Thanks in advance!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Make a nandroid, and then restore it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] beret9987:
Ahh xD I gotcha... ill keep that in mind, can't wait for the journaled edition! Thanks for all the help too!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I asked the same a while agvo and tried playing with the user agent settings...but I think this is an aplication assoiation thing. That check in astro associates all fille types with that app. If you had another app that handled zips for instance, I think you may be able to dl them.

From memory I think think office and another app that I have read we shouldn't use handles zips. I am sure there are more.

Also keep in mind I have no real clue what I am talking about ...just an educated guess. Hope it helps point youj in the right direction.
[Epic 4G Android Development] spf2722:
I am getting antsy waiting for this phone to show up. I want a new ROM. Its going to be interesting to see what improvements can be made on something I have had no problems with. Great work ACS Team.

Glad you like it, and thank you for the support! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] tclarkey:
It appears the "Android System" is using more battery power in Partial Wakelock usage than normal and is draining my battery quicker.

How do I resolve this? Wipe data/dalvik? Reflash without wiping?

Any suggestions are welcome.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, I'd wipe everything and reflash the rom :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
That doesn't call for a :D in my book. But I had a similar problem, and it seems I've traced it down.. if you do the airplane toggle it seems to stop the battery dran, at least that's worked for me. On about 25 hours on this charge with 31% left. Screen on time is 1 hour, 21 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Forgive me, I'll cater my posts to your taste from now on :rolleyes: That "trick" working could mean that there is some program in the back that in syncing or asking for data consistently.

[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, I'm still supportive, that just had to be said; I'll put up with a bunch of user crap, but attacking my post style is just dumb ;) You'll notice I still gave input to the problem though after that :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
??? crap?? attacking?? I think you may be getting a bit thin skinned. I didn't attack, or give you crap. I was just stating the obvious that constantly re-flashing is a PITA.

I understand that 1000 pages of crap gets a bit old, but you probably need to quit posting every five seconds, it seems to be getting to you. :D

Quit trying to rile him up. Seriously, treat him with respect and you will get respect in return. You are being very rude to him. Just make regular nandroid backups and you will be fine.... Back up contacts with google, and data and apps with titanium or my backup .... Not too difficult. Just go back to stock if you don't ever want to wipe anymore.

By the way, I've been using that modded version of gallery floating around. Never had that sensor issue again, it works great =) i recommend it used in next release.

[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
Seems there may be a software issue I'm running into. For starters, I have been running SRF 1.1.0 for a good while now and ran into an issue that froze my phone, but only when the phone was sleeping. Initially thought it was the UV or OC, but changing SetCPU didn't fix it. This was after being told the AOSP lockscreen was gimpy.

Anyway, flash forward to this past week. The "won't wake up" issues get worse and worse, and eventually my phone decides Friday is a good day to never turn back on. I take it to Sprint, they don't go into details but inform me that the battery was bad and that they would also be replacing the phone (I had no TEP, so it was a BIG failure). I get the new phone, flash to SRF 1.1.0 and download apps from scratch, no restoring from backups. The issue with being unable to wake is persisting on THIS PHONE (i.e. The brand new replacement one) both before and after I flashed the Vision kernel.

I highly doubt it's defective HW as I bought my first Epic off-contract when it came out, which was back in Aug or Sept. Bloody unlikely I managed to get two phones so far apart with an identcally-presenting hardware defect.

So, what do I do? I have scoured the thread for things to do that I have not already done (this includes both of the alternative kernels, wiping and reflashing, etc) and would prefer insight instead of trolling because I HAVE read the thread and I'm looking for some information on a specific issue.

Edit: it happened again, I wrote this post, put my phone in my pocket, grabbed a bag of chips from the vending machine downstairs, and the phone was dead by the time I returned to my office. I will wipe and flash another ROM when I get home to see if the issue persists across roms in addition to phones.
[Epic 4G Android Development] RushAOZ:
What's up with the links for the version with journaling on? Can I do this myself?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
Journaling is off as default due to some bugs being worked out. You can turn it on by making a nandroid backup, wiping, then restoring that backup.

e: Just imagine I raged for three paragraphs about people asking questions they totally could have quickly dug through 900 pages to have answered.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Wakelocks are solved by increasing the minimum frequency to 200mhz (or 400mhz in very rare cases) from 100mhz.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bullitnutz:
That was the first thing I tried as my assumption was that the undervolt was causing the proc to bottom out and not be able to raise the speed enough to wake. Both phones, too.

I love this ROM! The issues I am having has nothing to do with the ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Donmeister85:
Dude, use Titanium Backup Pro. One of the best root apps to have on your phone. You'll wonder how you ever got along without it...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
I used tb for a while without issue... except the limitations of attended only restore on the free one. The rom dev reccomends my backup root. My only complaint is the way it restored some of my system data.... but this was user error. The dev says mbr is less problematic and has seen issues with tb.
[Epic 4G Android Development] netengineer:
Thanks, I do have both both TB and My Backup. Just wanted to see how other people do it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
I've used both, i find titanium much better, "it just works" but i've been trying to use mybackup root as that was suggested here. mybackup is nice when it works, but has its little quirks. for instance, at least on the free one, when I tried to restore from one phone to another after i replaced a phone, mybackup said it couldn't do it. titanium did it just fine. also I made a backup with my backup one day, also made backup with backupsms that I use. i did mybackup twice that day so I definately did it, even checked after I did it to make sure the file was there. then I flashed this rom after fully wiping. when it came back up, mybackup was only showing a file from like a month ago, backupsms had no problem restoring the stuff I backed up a few minutes before. titanium had no problem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
I have good luck with TB. I always have problems with MB.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Donmeister85:
Yeah, TB is such an awesome app. I mean, I install a new ROM, then load up TB, then use batch restore and come back to a phone loaded up with all my apps. Sweet!

I don't always use the data restore for fear of possible FC issues springing up from old system data, but still nice to have the apps restored if nothing else.

so question...I've been running this ROM since I rooted my epic weeks ago, flashed Midnights BYOR for about an hour and then flashed back to this and rerooted. So on this screencap what does it mean when it says my firmware is Bonsai lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
I guess I'm just lost, I have no samsung sns app, I synced with facebook app and had to merge contacts.

Thats fine, but the picture is still blank when texting bit not in contacts.

When I go to select a pic when editing contact only gallery shows up. But when I close it out the fb photo is still there.

Can someone walk me through what to do?
[Epic 4G Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Probaly got lest over from, midnights rom as its based off bonsai, u might need to wipe, reflash the rom or even odin and start over...
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZiggSVO:
Hopefully I dont have to Odin lol

I wipe 3x before I flash anything usually so maybe I skipped it and didnt realize?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Your not really on that, midnight left it on (acs didn't change it from stock)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZiggSVO:
ok so my understanding is that SRF doesnt include a kernel in the ROM so when I flashed Midnights it installed the Bonsai kernel and when I restored my back up of SRF it left the Bonsai kernel on there since it doesnt backup or restore the kernel?

So I should be running the Bonsai kernel if my logic doesnt escape me?

And if i reflash SRF it will revert me back to the stock kernel?

Edit: relfashed SRF and kernel back to normal. I thought it was weird that I couldnt SetCPU to 1300 lol. I am naive sometimes :p Thanks for the input guys :)

Now to retheme and customize again lol.

All u have to do is reflash the syndicate rom. The syndicate rom comes with the twilight kernel. You could just flash that but I would do the whole rom. It saves and restores for u so u don't have to wipe. BTW did you do a nand restore or actually flash this rom? Cause a nand restore doesn't restore the kernel. You keep the same kernel that u had before u do the nand restore.
